A hearing aid component with earwax filter is provided, wherein the hearing aid component has a sound inlet opening (10) that has at least two sound inlet portions having different diameters and being displaced with respect to each other in a longitudi-nal direction of the sound inlet opening (10) so that the sound inlet opening (10) narrows towards the interior of the hearing aid component so that more proximal sound inlet portion has a relatively larger diameter and more distal sound inlet portion has a relatively smaller diameter. The earwax filter (20) is placed in said sound inlet opening (10) and comprises: - a cap (28) with an outward-facing and an inward-facing side, and a peripheral edge (22), said peripheral edge (22) being force-fitted into the sound inlet portion with the relatively larger diameter. The cap (28) has a plurality of sound inlets (30) arranged along the periphery of the cap (28) wherein the sound inlets (30) are arranged along a perimeter of the cap (28).
